Can't wait for the next! * The Children's Bookseller * The fact that young and old alike can enjoy this novel is testament to Bateman's talent... Tension is mixed in with impeccable comic touches in a novel almost unique in its genre. Never does the reader feel patronised, neither do you feel like you are excluded from the emotional moments. * This is Books *More details
